The Catholic Church in Ukraine (Latin: Ecclesia Catholica in Ucraina; Ukrainian: Католицька церква в Україні) is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome. Catholics make up 13-14% of the population of Ukraine.[1][2]

The majority of Catholics (88,2%) in Ukraine belong to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church (Greek Catholic Eparchy of Mukachevo), while significant numbers of others belong to the Latin Church and Armenian Catholic Church.[3]
